Here Today... Gone To Hell!

the one that sold the most ? can anybody guess what it is without googling it or any other way.

November Rain I think, or knocking on heaven's Door.

November Rain, surely

November rain, for sure!


Rock on  :peace:

Dont know

I'm pretty sure that would be November Rain.

I could bet is november rain or you could be mine, cause it appear in T2

It's november rain becuase i read it in the Guiness Book of Records one year.

Sweet Child Of Mine. Its the only GNR single to go number 1.

Sweet Child O' Mine

Tis november rain apparently.

november rain hit #4 right?

I'd say it would be November Rain. Just because SCOM got to number one, doesn't mean it sold more.

Yes it does.

Well it only means, it was more succesful in the releasing moment, but maybe it actually sold more copies, ?some figures would be interesting. On the other hand ?do you guys know wich songs were singles?. I dont, thanks in advance.

It depends on if youre talking about worldwide or just the U.S. Im sure November Rain went number 1 in Australia

In Belgium and the netherlands KOHD went to number 1 for about 10 weeks I think in the summer of 92.
November was in the top 10. So was Paradise city, YCBM and Don't cry.

Singles:
It's So Easy, Welcome To The Jungle, SCOM, Paradise City, Patience, Nightrain, You Could Be Mine, Don't Cry, Live And Let Die, November Rain, Knockin on Heavens Door, Yesterdays, Civil War, Ain't It Fun, Since I Don't Have You, Estranged and Sympathy For The Devil.

No it doesn't. Perhaps November Rain didn't make number one, but could have easily stayed in the top ten for much longer than Sweet Child Of mine and therefore sold more copies. Maybe it was a slow week when SCOM went to number 1, there are a number of reasons a song can sell more yet not make number 1.

Not only is Sweet Child their biggest single, it was also the most requested video in MTV's history for more than a decade.

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. I thought we were talking biggest single in regards to sales. My bad.

November Rain?

Thanks for the Information Steve Mckagan, its apreciated. On the other hand my favorite single is Welcome to the Jungle.

Makes me think how shitty it was, they made video's for The Garden, Garden Of Eden and Dead Horse, and they weren't even singles. The could have made video's for Nightrain, Civil War and Knockin On Heavens Door instead. Why didn't they?

Actually I think there was a vid for knockin on heavens door... but it was footage from the freddy m. tribute.

G N' Rs biggest single has yet to be released........

Believe me its SCOM, I know for sure sorry I cant prove more beyond that but I distictly remember reading it from a very good source.

I agree with you... with a reunion tour too.  :yes:  :peace:

Don't agree...Chin Dem will be a good , powerful record, but nothing like AFD or Use Your Illusion. Sorry...GnR will never be the same again

Sweet Child O' Mine . That's easy. And by the way, the new stuff will be lucky to go top ten with any singles.

It'll be way better than Illusion.. for sure. Appetite though... hm..

Wont be the same kind of record Appetite was...

Has to be that one ,It's their most famous one Too :hihi: :hihi:

Well, how can you tell?

I know it's only opinion ,But in any sort of music poll it's always near the top ahead of all their other songs

See, I was right all along! :hihi:

I never doubted you!!!  ;D

But some did! : ok:

That list doesn't prove the amount of the sales. It's also pretty weird because some of those was never released. That must be a list of radio play or something.

Why cant people grasp the fact that Sweet Child was their biggest selling single? What more proof do you need? When it came out, it was the most requested video of all time, and not only did the teenyboppers and peope of all ages buy it, but all guns fans who already had AFD bought it because it had Its so Easy live as the B side. No other GNR single even comes close.

What songs were ahead of it i wonder.... I mean to keep NR at #4
Can we look up the billboard charts archive?

Many people say NR is overrated, and have problems with its length. Some even say its bad. I think thats too much, but I'll agree NR is one of the most overrated songs GN'R ever had. It was really good, but some fans would go so far as to compare it to Beethoven's 5th.

That comparison is just too much...

 I even read some guys believe Axl is a genious, just because he is taking such a long time to release the album...  well....   come one guys.
